Well guys, so far our summer has been crazy! I’m not a fan, but I’m hoping the next few weeks won’t be quite so crazy so I can catch my breath a bit. Oy. I really hope ya’ll know that although I am a mother of many who has a passion for health and fitness, who tries to live a healthy-ish lifestyle and sorta kinda tries to write a blog about healthy life and mom life….I STRUGGLE! Please don’t ever think that I got it all figured out, that healthy living comes easy for me, that I’m a perfect mom Continue Reading…
Crazy, Crazy May + Getting Ready to Run Ragnar Wasatch Back
Well I don’t know about y’all, but the past couple of weeks have been NUTS for me! It seems like the month of May is always crazy, which is sad because it’s such a beautiful month. I wish I could just kick back, relax and enjoy the SUN! We’ve had a lot of fun things going on, but I am tired. The end of the school year is always packed full of so many things! I helped chaperone a couple of my 2nd grader’s walking field trips last week (we went to Lowe’s, the DI, Peterson’s Grocery store and IFA.) Continue Reading…
Getting Ready for Ragnar + I’m Seeing Some Positive Changes
Hello my friends! I went on a “nice, easy run” tonight. I was tired and didn’t feel like running, but our relay race is in two weeks so I knew I needed to get out there and ruuuuuun. I can’t say it was an awesome run, but it did feel good to get outside. Sadly, I ran past an area that used to be beautiful farmland….that is now being developed and a ton of houses are being built. 🙁 It used to be one of my favorite areas to run by and it made me so sad to see it Continue Reading…
New things I’m Lovin’ + some Low Carb Meal Ideas
Happy Friday! I looooove the weekend (of course!) and I love this time of year. There’s just something about spring that is so happy, motivating and refreshing. 😉 Love it! Well, I thought I’d share something new I bought this week, I’ve heard a lot of good things about Feast Mode seasonings on the internet, so I was thrilled to learn that my local grocery store was carrying them. Woot! Feast Mode has a BUNCH of great flavors and I love that they are a healthy seasoning (no weird fake crap, MSG or fillers) and they are lower in sodium. Continue Reading…
I Started The Faster Way to Fat Loss!
Happy Friday everyone! I hope you all have some fun plans or some much needed R&R for the weekend. <3 Well, I started a new healthy program this week and so far, I’m loving it!!! It’s called The Faster Way to Fat Loss and it’s awesome! I’m obviously just getting started, but so far I’m really lovig the concepts behind it. I can already feel a difference in my body (energy level, weight loss, digestion) and I really think I will see and feel great results. I can also see myself making some aspects of this program a permanent part Continue Reading…
For the Love of Hamilton! My Thoughts About the Original Broadway Cast and the Touring Philip Cast
Happy Saturday everyone!!! Well, today I’m going to write a rather unorthodox post. It has nothing to do with health and fitness, but I just really feel the need to write about something that I love and that I’ve been thinking about and loving an extra lot lately…. Hamilton!!! Oh how I love this play, story and music! I’m sure those of you who love it too, totally understand. To those of you who haven’t seen it, haven’t heard the music or who couldn’t care less about musicals, Broadway and this musical in particular….I’m sorry. I just love this stuff! Continue Reading…
